Re: bankruptcy

You'll have to speak to a bankruptcy lawyer to get some ideas after looking over your situation. From what you're described, you've broken two cardinal rules of bankruptcy: 1) you've given money that belonged to the estate (your tax return) to someone else, and 2) you've paid off a debt to a relative within a year of filing bankruptcy. These are pretty serious violations. Based on what you've said, I don't see any defenses.
